Lake Johanna Boulevard Roadway and Trail Design Study <br />Round 2 Engagement Summary – March 2022 <br /> <br />Concerns Expressed <br />x Need for safer crossing for pedestrians/bicyclists at the Lake Johanna Boulevard and Snelling <br />Avenue N intersection and the Lake Johanna Boulevard and County Road D intersection. <br />x Bulk of speeding occurs near Lake Johanna shores, like the narrowing of the road; planting <br />trees may also provide natural tightening of space. <br />o Prefer east side option if there’s already a sidewalk that stops short of Sandeen Road. <br />x Between Lake Lane and County Road E: <br />o If trail were on the east side, would need breaks in the railing to allow access to private <br />docks; concern this would attract trespassers. <br />o Prefer west side option without railing; railing would obstruct views and would require <br />more maintenance to keep level on unstable lakeshore. <br />Opportunities Expressed <br />x At Lake Johanna Avenue/Beckman Avenue intersection, feel this is a good spot for a <br />crosswalk; many people south and north of Beckman Avenue, as well as kids on Sandeen <br />Road, use Lake Johanna Boulevard to get to Hazelnut Park. <br />x Corners on Lake Johanna Boulevard at Stowe Avenue and Lake Lane are tough/blind spots; <br />people speed through here, difficult for drivers and pedestrians to anticipate each other’s <br />movements, consider extra signage. <br />x Question whether the trail needs to be 10 feet the whole way; consider 8-foot or 6-foot <br />wide trail to give more space for buffer and maintenance. <br />x Would like the trail to connect to the one on County Road E (connects the longer route from <br />Hazelnut Park up to the trails north of the lake). <br />x If a hybrid of the east and west options is used, feel that the most logical crossing would be <br />at the Tony Schmidt Regional Park area; consider adding traffic calming through the park <br />area. <br />x (Outside the scope of this project) Consider having a trail connecting the Lake Johanna <br />Boulevard trail up with the Langton Lake trails. <br />x Consider a roundabout at the five-way intersection at Lake Johanna Boulevard/New <br />Brighton Road/County Road D to improve multi-modal movements through the area.
